Abstract: This requests permission to conduct a survey of Medicare beneficiaries in targeted communities to obtain timely information on whether they are experiencing problems accessing physician services. CMS will use data collected to determine if access problems exist at all, where and why problems may arise, who they affect, and what the consequences are for Medicare beneficiaries. CMS will also learn the extent to which physician access problems are Medicare-specific.
